Softball Smacks Stony Brook, 7-0
Coming off a break-out weekend, featuring multiple wins over ranked opponents and some of the most complete performances of the season, Michigan makes a trip to Florida this weekend for the FAU tournament. The opener was the first-ever meeting between Michigan & Stony Brook softball, and my guess is that the Seawolves won't be all too eager to schedule meeting #2 any time soon.
It was another encouraging outing for the Michigan offense, as 6 different Wolverines got hits on the day. Faith Canfield continued on her tear from a week ago, going 2-4 with 3 RBIs (all three of which came on a bases-clearing double in the B6 that turned a 4-0 lead into a 7-0 blowout). Madison Uden was also particularly effective, going 2 for 2 with a walk to boot, while freshman Natalia Rodriguez also added a pair of hits to the cause. Fellow-freshman Lou Allan continues to work her way into the line-up bit by bit, scoring a run after reaching base on a Stony Brook error in the 6th.
Defensively, Tera Blanco was in control for most of this one. Stony Brook didn't register a hit until the 4th inning, when a lead-off triple gave them their biggest threat of the day. An alert Sobczak gunned down the runner trying to get home on a bunt, though, and no harm was done. Sarah Schaefer would come in to close things out in the 7th, hurling a 1-2-3 inning.
Michigan continues play in about 5 minutes, facing hosts FAU. Freshman phenom Meghan Beaubien will be in the circle for this one.
Delivering the Blank to Stony Brook! Thanks SBW. It is great to see another hurler dominate; we all know what we have in Meghan B.
I like it when we score runs and they don't.
Just finished beating FAU, 7-1.
Thanks for the updates as always South Bend Wolverine!
The team win another one!!
